The Seagate FreeAgent Go is a portable external drive for photos, music, videos, and more by Seagate. FreeAgent external hard drives range in size from 60 GB to 3 TB. The FreeAgent Go was released in May 2010 as an updated range of FreeAgent drives including the FreeAgent Desk, FreeAgent GoFlex, and FreeAgent Xtreme. Hard drives in Seagate's FreeAgent line - except for the Go Pro for Mac and the Go for Mac - ship with NTFS, a file system designed for Windows. Your MacBook can not read or write to a NTFS drive, so you will need to reformat it to a Mac-compatible file system.

3.0 TB 3.5' Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex plug and play external USB 3.0-compatible drive
FreeAgent is a line of external hard drives manufactured by Seagate. They include FreeAgent Pro, FreeAgent Desktop, and FreeAgent Go. They range in size from 60 GB to 3 TB.
On May 20, 2010, Seagate released an updated range of FreeAgent drives. It includes the FreeAgent Desk, FreeAgent Go, FreeAgent GoFlex and FreeAgent Xtreme. The 3.5' drives have a maximum capacity of 2TB and the 2.5' Freeagent Go has a maximum of 1TB. The Go Special Edition is the same as the regular Go but with a different case. All the drives support USB 2.0, and the Xtreme also has 2 FireWire 400 ports and an eSATA port.
Mac versions of the drives have different designs and supporting FireWire 800, 400 and USB 2.0: the FreeAgent Go for Mac, FreeAgent Desk for Mac and the FreeAgent Go Pro for Mac.
While the drives may be supplied with different software and styling, any drive can be used as a storage device (without added functionality afforded by operating system-specific software) on any computer with appropriate port; for example, any USB 2.0 drive can be used on Mac or PC if an appropriate file system is installed on the drive and supported by the computer.
Other products released under the FreeAgent brand include the Dockstar, Theater+ HD Media player, and the Theater Media player.
In 2012, the FreeAgent line was renamed Backup Plus.
GoFlex[edit]
The FreeAgent GoFlex drives support USB 2.0, USB 3.0 (backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports), FireWire, and eSATAp (aka eSATA/USB or powered eSATA); they are supplied fitted with an adapter for one of these standards (often USB 2.0), or none (bare drive), and additional adapters can be purchased. There are two families of adapters, one for all 2.5' portable drives (without 12V support), and the other for all desktop drives. Any portable (or desktop) adapter can be used with any GoFlex portable (or desktop) drive interchangeably.

Bump...
I am now using a USB 2.0 interface with my GoFlex enabling it to mount, but the 3.0 connection is simply not working!
Any comments, tips or suggestions? I will of course be buying a new HD and trying to get my $ back for the GoFlex but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
Are there other suggestions for a 3.0 portable external that will 100% certainly work with the new mac USB 3.0 ports? I have a sordid and hellish history with WD so I'm apt to opt away from them. They have a history of sudden failure that I'm aware of by way of personal experience.
What about Iomegas?

Or am I better off building my own?
I think it's the drivers etc that are getting in the way, so maybe a very simple 2.5' HD with a seagate esata to 3.0 cable in a generic enclosure would do the trick?
